Talaroo Hot Springs, situated on Ewamian Country in Queensland's Savannah Way, are a group of calcium-carbonate springs feeding emerald pools on a working cattle station now managed as an Indigenous-owned eco-tourism destination. The springs discharge around 35°C into terraced travertine formations draped in monsoon vine scrub, creating an otherworldly landscape. Ewamian people have a deep spiritual connection to Talaroo, and the tourism venture represents a landmark in self-determined Indigenous conservation and economic development in northern Queensland.
Insider tip — Arrive early in the morning at Talaroo Hot Springs to enjoy the calm and the calcium-rich waters.
